Two sleepers with good upside. I like Danario this week, then we can re-evaluate when Lloyd gets going.

Should I play Rivers or Cutler this week?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:12 Sean

11:13

Matthew Wood:

I think you gotta go with your stud (Rivers) no matter how much he's disappointed so far.

whats the chances of andre johnson and gates coming back soon?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:13 Dr Andrew

11:14

Matthew Wood:

Gates practiced this week. I'm banking on him playing this week. Fingers crossed. For Dre, they said 6 weeks would be normal, but it sounds like he's ahead of schedule and could be back in a week or two. I'd hate for him to rush it and get hurt again though.

hi matt: do u see hester asa good #3 wr...or do you prefer santana moss?

I have Stafford and Vick - after Vick's bye week should I move Stafford? In a standard 14 team league would a WR2 be a good asking price?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:14 Cowboy

11:15

Matthew Wood:

That would be a good asking price. However, with Vick's injury prone style, you might want to think about hanging on to a solid backup

[Comment From ButtersButters: ]

I've been offered Bradshaw and Roddy White for McFadden. My RB2 is pretty weak with Lynch, DeMarco, Hardesty, Tate and Earnest Graham. I'm ok at WR with Jordy, Miles and Stevie Johnson. Make the deal or sit?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:15 Butters

11:15

Matthew Wood:

I stay with D-Mac. Jacobs is coming back, which cuts into Ahmad's value. White is a good buy low guy, but I'd still rather have the stud RB.

I love Colston this week. Same with DHB. James Jones gets one catch every week, but it's always a TD. I respect that. Don't get me started on the Redskins RBs. I'm hoping it's Hightower's gig again, but I honestly don't know what to think in DC.

Wow, nice options to have. I think I sit Bryant of this group, but I still like his production this week.

[Comment From SherwinSherwin: ]

Will Gates play this week?!

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:20 Sherwin

11:21

Matthew Wood:

OK, last Gates question. But since it's my boy Sherwin, I'll allow it. I say yes. No idea how his production will be, but you gotta think they'll throw to him if he's on the field. But definitely keep an eye on this all week.

[Comment From Jimmy GJimmy G: ]

I plan to play both Ingram and Spoles on the Saints cause they play Indy. Is this a good idea ?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:21 Jimmy G

11:22

Matthew Wood:

I think you can't go wrong playing Saints players -- although Sproles has been losing touches lately. Ingram is awesome and will only get better.

To recap, this is the deal Butters was talking about: I've been offered Bradshaw and Roddy White for McFadden. My RB2 is pretty weak with Lynch, DeMarco, Hardesty, Tate and Earnest Graham. I'm ok at WR with Jordy, Miles and Stevie Johnson. Make the deal or sit?

Not quite yet for Ronnie. Jahvid isn't done yet, and actually hasn't been ruled out this week.

Also, I hate you Millen!

I had to start taking a break at 11am for the chat. Well, I got fired. Where can I getz a J.O.B.?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:35 Dave Marberry

11:36

Matthew Wood:

Unemployment, bro. It's the only way to go.

[Comment From GregGreg: ]

Should i pick up Meacham and drop T. Jones My RBs are Blount, Murray, M.Busg and P.Thomas.

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:36 Greg

11:37

Matthew Wood:

Meachem looks like the odd man out right now. I stick with Jones, unless there's another WR like Danario Alexander, Greg Little or Crabtree if you can take the bye. Right now I like all those guys more than Meachem.

I would say Decker and DHB. Apparently Hispanic month is over, because Cruz isn't getting the ball anymore.

Schaub by a slim margin.

[Comment From JeffJeff: ]

Should I pick up Murray or Choice with Felix being out?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:39 Jeff

11:39

Matthew Wood:

Sounds like Murray's the first guy right now. Neither have done much so far, so we'll see how this plays out. Someone's gotta get some yards in that O, right?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:39 Matthew Wood

11:40

[Comment From Matt woodMatt wood: ]

Nate Washington or Eric Decker?? Don't really think tebow can throw but Decker is there one now right???

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:40 Matt wood

11:40

Matthew Wood:

That's Mattthew to you. Thanks. And roll with Decker.

[Comment From AlanAlan: ]

I was offered Sidney Rice for Mike Williams TB, your thoughts?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:40 Alan

11:41

Matthew Wood:

Sounds like someone is trying to buy low on Williams. Depends how much you believe in him. I would hold on to him right now, but that's just me.

[Comment From RC San JoseRC San Jose: ]

Is Keith Stone in a lot of trouble this week?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:41 RC San Jose

Keith Stone is always smooth.

I need a bye week TE to replace Gronk this week-dickson, watson or heath miller?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:41 Guest

11:42

Matthew Wood:

I think Watson will get some looks.

[Comment From shhhhivaaashhhhivaaa: ]

Heard a Bucs play by play anouncer say he thinks blount might be better served as a change of pace back...should I keep graham??? Old man can run and catch ball out of backfield vs bears bend but dont break cover 2

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:42 shhhhivaaa

11:42

Matthew Wood:

Yes, keep Graham! He looked really good last week and could take over that backfield.

[Comment From Ed K.Ed K.: ]

What's your thoughts on Carson Palmer the rest of this season..and where would you rank him going forward?

Wednesday October 19, 2011 11:42 Ed K.

11:43

Matthew Wood:

I want to see how he looks. Nobody really knows if this guy's even in shape right now. I think he was planning on sitting out the season. Ask me next week and I'll have a better answer for you.

Which one should should i bench out of Meachem, Percy Harvin, Julio Jones,or Mike Williams TB

Wednesday October 19, 2011 12:02 Mike
